Verification:
  Method: Automated extraction from [1] with deepseek-flash (JSON output, thinking disabled). Every value was checked by code to appear verbatim in a quoted passage of [1], and the latest version was checked to be the highest stable release listed. On this check the text of [1] was unchanged since 2026-11-12T10:34:18Z, so the values verified then were kept.
  Cross-check: [2] match at 2026-11-12T11:33:51Z. Secondary source lists 3.15.2 released 2026-10-25 as the latest in cycle 3.15

Notes and limitations:
  "Latest version" means the newest stable release. Pre-releases (alpha, beta and release candidates) are excluded.
  Older release lines keep receiving bugfix or security releases, sometimes on the same day as the latest version. Each line and its status is listed under Data.
